New Features
   • The NSURLSession HTTP/2 implementation has been updated to support HTTP/2

     Subject Alternative Name extension or wild-carded domain names. In addition,
     NSURLSession requires name resolution to resolve the different hostnames to the same
     IP address. NSURLSession may reuse HTTP/2 connections across different domain
     names when these conditions are satisfied. (37507838)
